Fertility rate: 'Jaw-dropping' global crash in children being born
Attachment 3963
The world is ill-prepared for the global crash in children being born which is set to have a "jaw-dropping" impact on societies, say researchers.

Falling fertility rates mean nearly every country could have shrinking populations by the end of the century.

And 23 nations - including Spain and Japan - are expected to see their populations halve by 2100.

Population Matters
WHY POPULATION MATTERS
“All our environmental problems become easier to solve with fewer people, and harder — and ultimately impossible — to solve with ever more people.”

– Sir David Attenborough, Population Matters patron

Human population has grown beyond Earth's sustainable means. We are consuming more resources than our planet can regenerate, with devastating consequences.

It took humanity 200,000 years to reach one billion and only 200 years to reach seven billion. We are still adding an extra 80 million each year and are headed towards 10 billion by mid-century.

As long as I can get in a pub they can carry on

The boom will come after....like after wars etc

Not good looking at the ratio of elderly to young though. Test tubes at the ready.

Or maybe they will have found a way to stop ageing.

Earth can benefit from the extinction of one species. Humans.
